93: Higher Infinite Power

Ray Charles and the Secularization of Gospel

Using a clip from the movie "Ray," Mo Facts illustrates the historical conflict between the church and secular music. Believers criticized Ray Charles for turning "God's music into sex" for profit. Mo explains the economic rivalry between the church and "juke joints," noting that every dollar spent on secular entertainment was a dollar lost to the church.
